Musings of an Olde Christian Biker

So you think you would like to ride a motorcycle and be a biker. But you are a millennial and you don’t know anything about bikes.

GOOD!!

Being a biker has less to do about the motorcycle and more to do with the experience!!! Being a biker is about what’s in your heart and soul. It’s about the hunger you feel on Saturday morning when your getting ready to go on a ride with your motorcycle friends. It’s about getting on the road and feeling the freedom of being a biker…

But wait. You’re probably asking yourself how do I get there. I don’t know anything about being a biker??? Well Olde Biker has some crazy ideas…how about I make myself available to share my 55 years of experience. And how about we don’t try to make you a copy of what’s been done, but you become MILLENNIAL BIKERS…

You are unique and while there are certain things you will want to do as Bikers, because you will not be brand specific, you will be free to create your own identity as MILLENNIAL BIKERS…Honda, Harley, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki…they all make bikes that are affordable and fun to ride…

So let me know what you think…are you ready for the experience of being a biker?? Or maybe the question is, is the biker world ready for the MILLENNIAL BIKERS…

Finally you have an alternative…if you ride a softail, a dyna or a sportster with a fender mounted license plate and you want to use the smaller bullet LED turn signals, now you can…Great Bike Gear has developed a laid down license plate frame using the smaller single post LED bullet turn signals…it comes in gloss black or chrome and is really clean looking…I am really impressed!!!

Here is the really cool thing for those of you who have already changed over to the single post bullet turn signals…GBG offers the laid down turn signal/license plate frame that will let you use the single post turn signals you already have…how cool is that??? They have a clear lens but light up amber…They can not be used as tail lights, they are single function…some models will require a load equalizer also available at GBG…

A laid down license plate frame that lets you relocate your turn signals off the fender rail and convert to the really sleek looking single post LED bullet turn signals…Awesome!!!!

Well it’s the olde biker here with an announcement for all you who bought or are thinking of buying the new Harley Davidson 750 or 500 Street…Great Bike Gear is out in front as usual with the Easy Bracket quick detach saddlebag mounting system for this new bike….you can get a model for your bike without a backrest, STRT-R1, or if you have the detachable backrest, STRT-R1DB….

And just on account of I can, go to http://www.greatbikegear.com and use Promo Code BZ10 and get 10% off your purchase on the Olde Biker…this Promo Code will also work for Easy Brackets, Turn Signal Relocation Kits, Hand Shields and Saddlebags….

The kit is ready to ship. Relocation kit STBMS-01. Price: $174.95. We do not have the kit on the website, but if you email me at bob@greatbikegear.com I will direct you to a secure order form.

Now you have that awesome Dyna Street Bob and you want to put saddlebags on it. Oops!! Gotta move the license plate and turn signals. Well you all bugged me to death and the relocation kit is finally done. It is awesome!!..Check out the pics. It really came out better than I had hoped.

We are just waiting for the powder coat to be done. We will be putting it on our new site http://www.greatbikegear.com when it launches around the middle of April, 2014. We will also be notifying all the riders who emailed me trying to make the relocation kit for the 2010 and newer Dyna Wide Glide work.

Are you looking for a way to relocate your rear turn signals off the fender?? And maybe you want to get rid of that ugly stock license plate frame. Now you can do both with an AWESOME Turn Signal Relocation/Laid Down License Plate Kit from Great Bike Gear. They have a turn signal relocation kit for all years of Fatboys, Dynas and Sportsters that is frankly the coolest!!!

The frame is brilliant chrome or gloss black and uses the OEM turn signals so you won’t need to lose the cool wing standoff. And are you ready for this?? You do not have to cut or extend the turn signal wires. The installation is simple and they have a video you can view to guide you through the process. And the price?? As low as $89.95 and they have one cent shipping anywhere in the US.

ABOUT

“Olde Biker”

A little about “Olde Biker”. As the name implies I have been riding for many years. I currently ride a 2010 FLHXXX Trike. I have been riding for over 55 years and hope to be in the saddle for many more. Due to health issues I can longer ride two wheels, but I refuse to not be in the wind. My wife, Dingbat, road a Road Glide/Lehman Trikefor 11 years but she has moved up to a 2010 Tri Glide Ultra Classic so now we are the triking couple.

I no longer ride with Soldiers for Jesus, MC. It was time to lay the colors down and spend more time with the family, especially the grandkids. We have five now with only one grandaughter. Since we never had any girls she is Poopa’s pride and joy.

I will be riding with the local HOG chapter this year when the weather clears. Just gettin too old to ride in the cold anymore. Gettin olde aint for sissys ya know.

I will be posting a lot about the accessories for motorcycles we offer at Great Bike Gear. This is our ecommerce website where we offer our great saddlebag detachable system, EASY BRACKETS. We also have Turn Signal Relocation Kits, Hand Shields for Harleys, Metrics, Victorys, Triumphs and Indians,motorcycle saddlebags and other great products.
